Hi

If you have read any of my previous threads you will know i am rolling on a Choppa, but i think i will play a Goblin Shaman as my alt.
Goblin Shamans are easily the career I know least about so here are a few questions.

1. How does the WAAAAGH!! system work?
2. How do we know Goblin Shamans wont be just heal-bots with some damage spells?
3. How will the Goblin Shaman survive in RvR with such little armour?
4. Can the Goblin Shaman heal itself?
5. Will it have any good 1.v.1 attacks? (Attacks that deal big on one opponent)
6. What will its majour tactics be? (How will it fight)
7. Will it have any Good damage over area moves?
8. Will it have any CC? (crowd control)

.................Thanks in advance!.............

Choppa, Shaman, as long as it's green man. :)

1) Basically the more damage you put out the more WAAAGH! you build. When you build up enough, certain abilities will glow green. These are wicked moves you can now pull off.

2) We know this since sufficient heals derive from damage output. Without WAAAAGH! your heals are going to suck, but with it you can heal pretty damn good. And how do we get WAAAGH! ? Pure damage.

3) As a support class your typical play style will be behind your big Black Orc and Choppa pals, like true Gobbo style. Distance is your best friend.

4) Of course. I know I'd be pissed if that wasn't possible.

5) It has a mix of single attacks and AOE attacks. Such things as Brain Busta and Zap are direct damage at single players, whereas things like Fists of Gork and Hotfoot effect numerous players as an AOE. The Shaman have a basic mix of these two types of damage, with a little bit of damage over time spells. Either way you're kicking .

6) I'm guessing hiding and shooting the crap out of stuff before it comes close. To do this they have moves which snare, stop, and separate the enemy from getting in your face. See the link above for the moves I'm talking about.

7, 8) Definitely. Like I said in 6, see the link I had in 5. That site is pretty helpful.
